IR reflow soldering
IR infrared “convection” reflow is commonly used in commercial large volume SMD components mounting process. The main differences in reflow soldering processes and oven types lie in heat transfer methods – radiation, conduction, convection, and condensation. In fact, all heat transfers are used in modern reflow ovens. The heat is applied from above, below, or all directions dependent on the equipment being used. In classical infrared “radiation” reflow ovens, several ceramic heaters are transferring the heat to the assemblies, moving through the oven on a conveyor belt, by radiation.
